A first chapter of the ARTIFEX e-book (10.09.2018)

A first chapter of the ARTIFEX e-book is now ready and open to the public. You can find it on this website in the download zone here. This chapter consists of a number of interviews with STEM professionals from different European countries. Each interview was used to zoom in on a specific (set of) competences required for successful careers in STEM sectors. At the end of the chapter, you will find a summary of the transversal skills mentioned by the interviewees together with some advice for young people and the main challenges for education.
The ARTIFEX e-book is still work in progress. The second part of the ARTIFEX BOOK will detail the STEM education competences needed by teachers and educators to build a STEM literacy of learners in the context of a FabLab or Makerspace (or any innovative learning environment). The research is currently running in three European countries. In the final part of the e-book we will provide some strategies to bring together schools, out of school programs, businesses, institutions of higher education and STEM-rich institutions, based on the description of some regional good practices from all over Europe.

Summer academy in Marathon on 18 Jul 2018 (20.06.2018)

Every year, during the first two weeks of July, EA is organizing in Marathon, Greece, a summer academy where more than 100 teachers from all over Europe attend various training programs and professional development courses in synergy with EU funded projects. This year, Artifex was one of the initiatives that was showcased in a poster session, in which participant teachers from STEM domains were introduced into its overall approach and objectives. Then, they explored the project website for more detailed information. In the coming year(s), with Artifex having developed its first outcomes and practices, it is in our plans to organize a dedicated course with hands-on workshops for pre-service and in-service teachers. Looking forward to it!
